Do not drive vehicles over the cover (see fig. 3). Fekabox / Fekafos: the cover can bear
passing loads of 100 kg if installed underground.
You can close the ditch with a cover (manhole) or other means for facilitating subsequent maintenance. Put
up suitable signals indicating the presence of the station so as to avoid possible damage caused
unintentionally. Ensure that there is sufficient space for installation and maintenance around and above the
lifting station.
Position any capacitor holder and/or electric control panel in a place sheltered from the
elements.
After having completed the hydraulic and electric connection, it is recommended to place clean sand around
the container to reduce any movements caused by the system and/or by the surrounding terrain.
5.3 Making holes for the collection and ventilation pipes
Choose the inlet duct already prepared for the inlet pipe so that the arrival of the liquid does not disturb the
operation of the floats (of both the pump and the tank, if provided).
The Fekabox-Fekafos tanks have multiple inlets, all marked with the symbol:
Make a hole in the tank in the determined areas, indicated by the symbols shown above.
To make the hole use a hollow cutter as shown in figure 5 (indicative figure) with the correct diameter to suit
the diameter of the input pipe.
5.4 Gluing the collection and ventilation pipes
Before gluing the PVC pipe must be deburred and cleaned with a suitable solvent on the whole surface
where the glue will be applied.
To ensure that it sticks firmly, the glue must be applied on the whole newly deburred surface, at least for a
complete round.
Attention:
Use glue suitable for sticking PVC materials with PE (for example: Simson ISR 70-03)
Also check the drying times indicated in the specific instructions for the glue used.
For the discharge pipe 2”PP (Fekabox 200) use the multifibre nylon sealant Loctite 55, the polymerising GEI
sealant Loctite 5331 or Teflon. For the steel pipe znb 2” (Fekabox 200, Fekafos 280, Fekafos 280 Double,
Fekafos 550 Double) and the other inlet connections use the most suitable glue in accordance with the
standards of the local market.
